The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN JI YUNʼS body froze in an instant. His heart was beating fiercely as if he just finished a fierce race or something. He didnʼt know what to do with his hands. He had an impulse to hug back but he knew that he shouldnʼt. Because even with his fast beating heart, he knew that Luo Yan didnʼt mean anything with this hug.

He understood that the other was just being coquettish. He had seen many sides of Luo Yan. The kind and gentle side that could warm anyoneʼs heart, the smart and calculating side that would not let anyone underestimate him, and the sweet side where he could melt you with just a smile. He also knew that he could act spoiled and coquettish sometimes. He had seen it when he visited the Bai household during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There were times when he also acted spoiled towards him. But he had never been this close.

No, he actually had been. Once, on the rooftop of the computer science building of T University. Because it happened in reality, the sensation he was feeling now was maximized by a hundred-fold. Added that to the small kiss on the chin and he almost couldnʼt control himself. It was because of those actions that he finally realized his real feelings for Luo Yan.

But even though they were in a virtual world right now, the nervousness that came with a simple hug was still tremendous. If they were in reality, Luo Yan would probably already hear the uncontrollable beating of his heart.

Shen Ji Yun knew why he was acting like this right now. It was probably because of what happened earlier when he shouted at him for being reckless. Luo Yan probably thought that he angry at him. But how could he be angry? In his mind, no matter what his rabbit did, he probably would never really be angry at him. At least not in the truest sense of the word.

”I- Iʼm not mad at you,” he quickly said.

”Really?” Luo Yan asked, those big blue eyes dusted with golden speckles stared at Shen Ji Yun as if checking if what he said was true.

”Really,” Shen Ji Yun assured him.

Then he put his hands on the otherʼs shoulder and gently tore him away from him. He was afraid that if they remained in this ambiguous position for too long, his heart wouldnʼt be able to take it. It would be really too bad if he had a heart attack while playing a game.

Luo Yan looked at Shen Ji Yunʼs blushing face and red ear tips and just secretly smiled to himself. He no longer continued to torture the other. What he did was already good. At least now, the gloominess between the otherʼs eyebrows was already gone.

”Thatʼs great. I wouldnʼt know what to do if Brother Ji Yun get mad at me,” he said with relief and a little bit of dejected tone.

”I would never get mad at you,” Shen Ji Yun quickly said.

Luo Yan stared at him. ”Really?”

”Yes, really.”

”Brother Ji Yun should not forget what he said just now,” Luo Yan said, his beautiful eyes bending into crescents.

Shen Ji Yun didnʼt know why but he felt that thereʼs a hidden meaning behind that smile. But despite, he still didnʼt think too much about it and just said with confidence, ”Of course.”

Luo Yanʼs smile only became brighter.

Eclipse on the side suddenly jumped into his masterʼs arms. [Mashter, why do Eclipse felt like you just cheated Captain?]

Luo Yan looked down at the little fox in his arms and gently flicked the otherʼs forehead. [What cheated? In what way did I cheat your favorite Captain?]

The little fox showed a confused expression. [Eclipse doesnʼt know. Eclipse just felt that it was the case.]

[Then you felt wrong.]

Luo Yan did not cheat Shen Ji Yun. He just dug a pit and the other happily jumped into it. How could that be considered cheating?

He raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun. ”Then is Brother Ji Yun not sulking anymore?”

Shen Ji Yun showed a confused look, almost the same as that of Eclipseʼs. it made Luo Yan want to burst out laughing.

”I was sulking?”

”Clearly, you were. After we left the office of the High Priest, you didnʼt speak at all. If you didnʼt have to bring out that item, you would probably continue to remain silent,” Luo Yan said.

Shen Ji Yun suddenly remembered his mood earlier. It was indeed true that if not for the need of that item, he might continue to be silent until they left the Tower.

”I was not… sulking. I just felt a bit useless,” he honestly admitted. ”I told you that I would handle everything. But at the end, it was still you who did most of the job. Iʼm just a bit angry at myself.”

Luo Yan smiled helplessly. ”Thereʼs no need to feel that way. Each one of us have things that weʼre good at. It just so happens that Iʼm better at things like these than Brother Ji Yun. Besides, if youʼre useless, then there would be no useful person in the world. So, donʼt think too much about it, okay?”

After what Luo Yan said, Shen Ji Yun felt a lot better. If Luo Yan didnʼt think that way, then thereʼs no reason for him to degrade himself. It would only make him feel depressed which his rabbit clearly didnʼt want.

”Okay,” he finally said.

Luo Yan nodded in satisfaction.

”Should we go to the moon elvesʼ village to get our reward?” Shen Ji Yun asked.

Luo Yan first looked at the time in his Status Window. Thereʼs still an hour left before lunch. They could just do that later after lunch and then go straight back to Alryne City to search for that elf who was now working at Tropical Land.

”Letʼs go later after lunch.” Luo Yan turned to face Shen Ji Yun. ”In the meantime, why donʼt we look around this Garden of Eden? There probably wouldnʼt be a lot of chance to go here in the future.”

Shen Ji Yun wanted to say that he could bring him here anytime he wanted. But he only said, ”Okay.”

Then Luo Yan smiled. He reached out to Shen Ji Yun and pulled him forward.

Shen Ji Yun stared at Luo Yanʼs hand holding his wrist and a small smile appeared on his always expressionless face.
